I have been seeing wedding videos online and I really want one for my wedding. Videographers are entirely too expensive for my simple beach wedding. I also ran across these sites that send you cameras and you mail back and they make a video. That got me thinking... Would it be a good idea to buy 2-3 camcorders and create our own video?
How about asking guests/family to film with these cameras?? We are only having 30 people at our wedding but I'm considering adding another couple with the intention of asking them to film and then I will give them one of the cameras we purchase as a thank you.
Thoughts??
Re: DIY wedding video??
I agree, I don't think it is a good idea to hire family to work the wedding. I don't think you'd be happy with that product anyway. Wedding videographers are worth the money you pay them just like the rest of your vendors. If you don't think the wedding video is in your budget, it just means it's not that important to you; it's not a priority. Maybe make a list and see if the extra flowers, or steak over chicken, or the photobooth is really more important than the wedding video. There are a lot of good reasons to hire a wedding videographer.
